Albertson will examine the controversy surrounding the Confederate battle flag and American policy, both foreign and domestic. His discussion will focus on the question of how an American administration can support a Kiev government that is aided by fascist elements with racist overtones. He will shed light on this complex and difficult issue. He will use a short clip of a video to encourage discussion.
